The SSD paradigm shift has hit the storage industry hard. Traditional hard disk manufacturers such as Hitachi, Western Digital, and Seagate have been thrown for a loop as a glut of new competitors have entered their cloistered market. All of the sudden these monoliths’many whom invented some of the interface and access standards that still manifest today’have had to contend with upstarts like OCZ and Corsair’companies that have been in the flash or RAM markets previously and suddenly found themselves sitting on everything they needed to make SSDs.

OCZ went so far as to stop making RAM (the market they started in), buy a storage controller company, and re-brand themselves as a purveyor of high-end Ssd Technology, taking market share from hard drive companies. What do old standbys like Seagate do. They were mechanical manufacturers: they had factories and technologies to make very shiny metal disks with very tiny metal particles on them spin very quickly. They also had a lot of magnets. This new SSD stuff was alien technology.

It is powered by up to 2nd generation Intel Core’ i7 processor with Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 and is equipped with Enhanced Experience 2.0 RapidDrive Ssd Technology# that speeds up boot up time in as little as 10 seconds. The U300s also comes equipped with premium features such as a 16:9 widescreen HD display, 4GB DDR3 memory and up to 256GB of SSD storage. It also includes features like Bluetooth, high-speed 802.11n Wi-Fi, USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 connectors, as well as an integrated 1.3M (720p HD) webcam.

A couple years ago I built a simple computer from some spare parts and made it a linux desktop. A few days ago I decided to use it to replace an even older linux server I had running at my house. I turned it on (for the first time since I built it) and decided, after a few failed attempts at upgrading from Fedora 11 to Fedora 16, to put in a new hard drive and install Fedora 16 from scratch.

This means that all drives are recognized by the computer as one drive, and data transfer speeds remain fast. An online server is also available which automatically checks the drive for problems, even sending up to four emails if there are any serious issues. This and the G-SPEED eS are a popular choice amongst professional and home users who work in large scale video production, the difference being that this is much faster with it’s 12Gbit mini-SAS connection.

Unfortunately it can only be linked with one other eS PRO for a total of 16TB available drive space whereas the regular G-SPEED eS uses the slower 3Gbit eSata but can be chained together in groups of four for a maximum of 32TB. As usual G-Tech drives look like and are formatted for use with Macintosh OS X computers, Windows XP and Vista users will require a reformat before using.

Eight drives installed in the Mac Pro system, two Sata drives in the Optical bay along with four Sata drives in the factory bays, two Sata drives in the Optical Drive bay are connected with two on-board Sata channels and two IDE/ATA Drive in the Optical Bay ( requires removal of Optical Drive, mounts on the same Optical drive mount )(All six Sata drives have native Sata support and ATA/IDE drives is on-baord IDE channel (native) , user can boot from an IDE/ATA Drive and stripe all six drives for maximum DATA transfer rate of 600+ MB/sec (Sustained Data Transfer Rate).

G-SAFE is the ideal storage solution to safeguard your important digital photos, audio and video libraries and documents. G-SAFE offers the ultimate in peace of mind by simultaneously writing to two independent Hard Drives providing instant back up of files as you save them. And unlike single drive backup systems, if a drive failure occurs your images are safe and accessible.

The major improvements of SAS technology include support for up to 128 hard drives on a single controller, more than quadrupling SCSI bandwidth for substantial performance gains. As with all Aberdeen Stirling servers, the Stirling X332 offers the benefit of RAID controller redundancy. Additionally, upgrading to SAS will allow for backward compatibility with Sata Ii Drives for unprecedented flexibility and involves zero cost premiums compared with traditional SCSI solutions.

The Dell EqualLogic PS5000E iSCSI SAN (16x1TB Sata II) complies with the need of today’s advanced technology it blends intelligence and mechanization with fault tolerance to supply simplified management, express deployment, operation functioning and consistency, and perfect scalability. With Sata disk drives, the Dell EqualLogic PS5000E iSCSI SAN (16x1TB Sata II) produces outstanding cost-per-gigabyte and an addition of up to 16 TBs of high storage capacity. The Dell PS5000e iSCSI SAN is a very consistent, easy to connect and set up scheme.

The most obvious answer would appear to be that the vendors with the least margin will suffer most. Think of the likes of Drobo or Overland, who sell relatively low cost hardware. Theoretically vendors such as EMC and Netapp should be able to swallow the additional cost, especially if they are already charging 10-15 times the underlying raw cost of the drive on a per terabyte basis.

The drive cost makes up a small part of their overall price. The big vendors should also have the muscle to fulfill their demand first with what supply is available. Read more on Sata Ii Drives

Jumpers In a computer system, it’s possible to have more than one harddrive. To connect multiple IDE drives, you need to chain the ribbon cables from one to the next. The computer system has no idea which is the main drive, from which to load the operating system.

For this reason, IDE drives have a ‘jumper’ pin. The position of the pin will determine if it is a ‘master’ or a ‘slave’.

That event sent me looking for alternatives. I tried to create a USB bootable drive, but soon realized it wasn’t going to meet all of my needs. When I found the OCZ Vertex 3, via a OCZ Vertex 3 review, I was amazed by what it has to offer.

Two million hours of function time. That extends way beyond what my conventional hard drive lasted. Needless to say, I was also impressed when I found out the OCZ Vertex 3 actually sped up movies and other interactive media on my laptop. In fact, I like the OCZ Vertex 3 so much, I bought one for back up, and one to use in place of my conventional hard drive.

For those of you counting, that brings the grand total to three for new series of SSDs from OCZ in 2009. First we had the Apex series, followed by the Summit series we previewed yesterday and now we round out the lineup with the Vertex. You may also notice that these three terms are synonyms; don’t ask us about that, we are just interested in technology and performance.

But why all the different SSDs. In reality the drives are all based on very different technology. The Apex is a band-aid combination of a pair of JMicron controllers in a RAID configuration, the Summit uses a new, but standard design Samsung controller that utilizes on-drive cache and the Vertex is the first drive to use the new Barefoot SSD controller from a new company on the scene: Indilinx .

The durability of the OCZ Vertex, made with lightweight alloy housing and no moving parts makes it stronger than your conventional hard drives. This design gives the Ocz Vertex Ssd (Solid State Drive) twice as long a life than your older HHD made with small parts. With no moving parts, it reduces heat of the OCZ Vertex which runs with an operating temperature of -10C to +70C and a storage temperature of -55C to +140C.

Also the low energy power consumption, at 2 watts while operating and .5 watts in stand by your OCZ Vertex will save on power consumption. It also comes with a 2 year warranty.

Let’s not just criticise for the sake of scoring cheap mileage. Prof Pat Mvunga is a Constitutional heavyweight and so is Mwangala Zaloumis. There aren’t any better than these two that I know can interpret Constitutional like they know how.

In them 2 alone they can collect all the past submissions and give us a Constitution that can stand the test of time. The only controversial appointments on this list are the 3 Catholic Priests; but then the Catholics have been known for championing basic human rights and standing with the poor and down-trodden in our society. How I wished the late Bishop Paul Duffy was on this team. What I’m worried about the most is what Sata will do with the draft Constitution they will submit to him. In my opinion the draft should have just gone directly to parliament for debate and subsequently enactment. We have seen each and every President start with good intentions, only to water down the good report by removing stuff perceived to threaten their stranglehold to power. As for those whingeing about lack of enough representation, I thought this wasn’t supposed to be a Constituent Assembly, but rather a team of ‘experts’ (whatever that means). There is a better way you can contribute besides being on the team: MAKE SUBMISSIONS TO THE TEAM when it starts sitting. As for those calling for consulation, I believe Sata has appointed these people to do the ‘CONSULTATION’ on his behalf. Your time to be consulted will come when the representatives go round and collect people opinions. Please stop this cry baby attitude. I know the majority just wanted to be part of it so they can get paid’ not so fast this time.
